Definitions
- This invention relates to active derivatives of poly(ethylene glycol) and related hydrophilic polymers having a reactive moiety at one end of the polymer chain suitable for chemical coupling to another molecule.
- PEG poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), which is also known as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), to molecules and surfaces is of great utility in biotechnology.
- PEG poly(ethylene glycol)
- PEO poly(ethylene oxide)
- This polymer can be represented in brief form as “HO-PEG-OH” where it is understood that the -PEG- symbol represents the following structural unit:
- n typically ranges from approximately 10 to approximately 2000.
- PEG is commonly used as methoxy-PEG-OH, or “mPEG”, in which one terminus is the relatively inert methoxy group, while the other terminus is a hydroxyl group that is subject to ready chemical modification.
- PEG is also commonly used in branched forms that can be prepared by addition of ethylene oxide to various polyols, such as glycerol, pentaerythritol and sorbitol.
- polyols such as glycerol, pentaerythritol and sorbitol.
- pentaerythritol a polyol prepared from pentaerythritol is shown below:
- Such branched polyethylene glycols can be represented in general form as R(-PEG-OH) z in which R represents the central “core” molecule, such as glycerol or pentaerythritol, and z represents the number of arms extending therefrom.
- PEG is a well-known polymer having the following properties: solubility in water and in many organic solvents, lack of toxicity, and lack of immunogenicity.
- One use of PEG is to covalently attach the polymer to insoluble molecules to make the resulting PEG-molecule conjugate soluble. For example, Greenwald, Pendri and Bolikal in J. Org. Chem., 60, 331-336 (1995), have shown that the water-insoluble drug, taxol, when coupled to PEG, becomes water-soluble.
- an activated derivative of PEG is the succinimidyl “active ester” of carboxymethylated PEG as disclosed by K. Iwasaki and Y. Iwashita in U.S. Pat. No. 4,670,417. This chemistry can be illustrated with the active ester reacting with amino groups of a protein (the succinimidyl group is represented as “NHS” and the amino-containing protein is represented as PRO-NH 2 ):
- Attachment of a PEG derivative to a substance can have a somewhat unpredictable impact on the substance. Proteins, small drugs, and the like may have reduced biological activity when conjugated to a PEG derivative, although in some cases, activity may be increased.
- succinimidyl succinate active ester “mPEG-SS” (the succinimidyl group is represented as NHS):
- the mPEG-SS active ester is useful for coupling because it reacts rapidly with amino groups on proteins and other molecules to form an amide linkage (—CO—NH—).
- a problem has been reported with the mPEG-SS active ester, as noted in U.S. Pat. No. 4,670,417. Since this compound possesses an ester linkage in the backbone that remains after coupling to an amine group, such as in a protein (represented as PRO-NH 2 ):
- the present invention provides chemically active polyethylene glycols and related polymers that are suitable for coupling to other molecules.
- the polyethylene glycol derivatives provided herein when covalently attached to another molecule, form water-soluble conjugates in which the linkage between the polymer and the bound molecule is subject to predetermined cleavage. This allows for controlled delivery of the bound molecule into its surrounding environment.
- the polymers of the invention contain weak, hydrolytically unstable linkages near the reactive end of the polymer that provide for a sufficient circulation period for a drug-PEG conjugate, followed by hydrolytic breakdown of the conjugate and release of the bound molecule.
- also forming part of the present invention are (i) methods of preparing the degradable active PEGs described herein and related polymers, (ii) conjugates, and (iii) methods for preparing such PEG conjugates.
- the PEG and related polymer derivatives of the invention are capable of imparting improved water solubility, increased size, a slower rate of kidney clearance, and reduced immunogenicity to a conjugate formed by covalent attachment thereto, while also providing for controllable hydrolytic release of the bound molecule into an aqueous environment—by virtue of the design of the linkages provided herein.
- the invention can be used to enhance the solubility and blood circulation lifetime of drugs in the bloodstream, while also delivering a drug into the bloodstream that, subsequent to hydrolysis, is substantially free of PEG.
- the invention is especially useful in those cases where drugs, when permanently conjugated to PEG, demonstrate reduced activity.
- a degradable PEG as provided herein, such drugs can maintain their therapeutic activity when in conjugated form, by virtue of the cleavable nature of the PEGs of the invention.
- POLY is a linear or branched polyethylene glycol of molecular weight from 300 to 100,000 daltons. POLY can also be a related non-peptidic polymer as described in greater detail below;
- y is the number of chemically active groups on POLY and is the number of molecules that can be bound to POLY;
- W is a hydrolytically unstable group
- T is a reactive group (i.e., is reactive with Y);
- Y—P′ represents a molecule for conjugation to POLY, where Y is a reactive group that is reactive with T, and P′ is the portion of the molecule that is to be bound and released, including, for example, a peptide P′ in which Y is an amine moiety and T is a PEG activating moiety reactive with an amine;
- X is the new linkage formed by reaction of Y and T;
- G and I are new groups formed by hydrolysis of W.
- hydrolytically unstable groups include carboxylate esters, phosphate esters, acetals, imines, orthoesters, peptides and oligonucleotides.
- the variables, T and Y are groups that react with each other. There are many examples of such groups known in organic chemistry. Some examples include the following combinations: active esters reacting with amines, isocyanates reacting with alcohols and amines, aldehydes reacting with amines, epoxides reacting with amines, and sulfonate esters reacting with amines, among others.
- P′ examples include peptides, oligonucleotides and other pharmaceuticals.
- Examples of X, the linkage resulting from reaction of Y and T, include amide from reaction of active esters with amine, urethane from reaction of isocyanate with hydroxyl, and urea from reaction of amine with isocyanate.
- Examples of G and I the new groups formed upon hydrolysis of W, are alcohol and acid from hydrolysis of carboxylate esters, aldehyde and alcohol from hydrolysis of acetals, aldehyde and amine from hydrolysis of imines, phosphate and alcohol from hydrolysis of phosphate esters, amine and acid from hydrolysis of peptide, and phosphate and alcohol from hydrolysis of oligonucleotides.
- the released exemplary peptide contains no polymer, in this case, mPEG. Rather, the released peptide contains an additional short molecular fragment, which is sometimes called a “tag”.
- This tag is the portion of the linkage opposite the PEG from the hydrolytically unstable linkage. In the above example, the tag portion is the ‘HO—(CH 2 ) 3 —O—C(O)—’ which remains attached to the released peptide.
- the invention provides activated PEGs and other related polymers containing hydrolytically unstable linkages.
- the polymers are useful, when conjugated to a drug or other molecule, for controlled delivery of such molecule to its surrounding environment.
- linkages including ester linkages, are suitable for use as the hydrolytically unstable linkage as provided herein.
- ester linkages of the present polymers in contrast to mPEG-SS and mPEG-SG, provide for variation and control of the rate of hydrolytic degradation.
- FIG. 1 is a MALDI-MS spectrum of the molecular weight distribution of an mPEG-HBA-subtilisin conjugate at 1 day after preparation as described in Example 8.
- FIG. 2 is a MALDI-MS spectrum of the molecular weight distribution of an mPEG-HBA-subtilisin conjugate at 8 days after preparation as described in Example 8.
- FIG. 3 is a MALDI-MS spectrum of the molecular weight distribution of an mPEG-HBA-subtilisin conjugate at 14 days after preparation as described in Example 8.
- PEG poly(ethylene glycol).
- other related polymers are also suitable for use in the practice of the invention in place of PEG and that the use of the term PEG or poly(ethylene glycol) is intended to be inclusive and not exclusive in this respect.
- Poly(ethylene glycol) is preferred in the practice of the invention.
- PEG is used in biological applications because it has properties that are highly desirable and is generally approved for biological or biotechnological applications.
- PEG typically is clear, colorless, odorless, soluble in water, stable to heat, inert to many chemical agents, does not hydrolyze or deteriorate, and is non-toxic.
- Poly(ethylene glycol) is considered to be biocompatible, which is to say that PEG is capable of coexistence with living tissues or organisms without causing harm. More specifically, PEG is not immunogenic, which is to say that PEG does not tend to produce an immune response in the body.
- the PEG When attached to a moiety having some desirable function in the body, the PEG tends to mask the moiety and can reduce or eliminate an immune response so that an organism can tolerate the presence of the moiety, in PEGylated form. Accordingly, the activated PEGs of the invention should be substantially non-toxic and not tend to substantially produce an immune response or cause clotting or other undesirable effects.
- Water-soluble polymers other than PEG are suitable for similar modification in accordance with the invention described herein.
- These other polymers include poly(vinyl alcohol) (“PVA”); other poly(alkylene oxides) such as poly(propylene glycol) (“PPG”) and the like; and poly(oxyethylated polyols) such as poly(oxyethylated glycerol), poly(oxyethylated sorbitol), and poly(oxyethylated glucose), and the like.
- PVA poly(vinyl alcohol)
- PPG poly(propylene glycol)
- poly(oxyethylated polyols) such as poly(oxyethylated glycerol), poly(oxyethylated sorbitol), and poly(oxyethylated glucose), and the like.
- the polymers can be homopolymers or random or block copolymers and terpolymers based on monomers of the above polymers, straight chain or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, e.g., similar to mPEG and other capped, mono-functional PEGs having a single active site available for attachment to a linker.
- PVP and poly(oxazoline) are well-known polymers in the art and their preparation and use in the syntheses described herein for embodiments based upon mPEG should be readily apparent to the skilled artisan.
- PAcM and its synthesis and use are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,629,384 and 5,631,322, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- drug any substance intended for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans and other animals, or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being.
- the invention is useful, for example, for delivery of biologically active substances that generally have some activity or function in a living organism or in a substance taken from a living organism.
- group is all somewhat synonymous in the chemical arts and are used in the art and herein to refer to distinct, definable portions or units of a molecule and to units that perform some function or activity and are reactive with other molecules or portions of molecules.
- linkages are used herein to refer to groups that are normally formed as the result of a chemical reaction. Herein, such linkages are typically covalent linkages.
- “Hydrolytically stable linkage” means a linkage that is stable in water and does not react with water under useful or normal conditions of pH for an extended period of time, potentially indefinitely.
- “Hydrolytically unstable linkage” is a linkage or functionality that reacts with water, typically causing a molecule to separate (or cleave) into two or more components. Such a linkage is said to be “subject to hydrolysis” and to be “hydrolysable”. The time it takes for the linkage to react with water is referred to as the rate of hydrolysis and is usually measured in terms of its half-life.
- the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing, for example, an ester group as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group useful for coupling to amine-containing molecules.
- the resulting conjugates can be delivered in vivo or into a substance taken from a living entity.
- Exemplary polymers, and in particular, linkages, are provided below.
- the invention also encompasses poly(ethylene glycols) containing an ester group as the weak linkage and an isocyanate as the reactive group useful for coupling to amine- and alcohol-containing molecules, as exemplified below.
- the invention also includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing an acetal as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group useful, for example, for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- the invention encompasses poly(ethylene glycols) containing an imine group as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to, for example, an amine-containing molecule.
- the invention also includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing a phosphate ester group as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing an ester-linked amino acid as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- poly(ethylene glycols) containing an ester-linked amino acid as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing a peptide as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing an oligonucleotide forming the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- poly(ethylene glycols) containing an oligonucleotide forming the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule.
- polymers for use in the invention can be straight chain or branched. That is to say, branched activated PEGs can be prepared in accordance with the invention where such PEGs possess weak linkages near the reactive end of the polymer for controlled hydrolytic degradation.
- Illustrative branched PEGs are described in International Publication No. WO 96/21469, entitled, “Multi-Armed, Monofunctional, and Hydrolytically Stable Derivatives of Poly(Ethylene Glycol) and Related Polymers For Modification of Surfaces and Molecules”, filed Jan. 11, 1996, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Branched PEGs such as these can then be modified in accordance with the present teachings.

- This invention relates to active derivatives of poly(ethylene glycol) and related hydrophilic polymers having a reactive moiety at one end of the polymer chain suitable for chemical coupling to another molecule.
- Chemical attachment of the hydrophilic polymer poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), which is also known as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), to molecules and surfaces is of great utility in biotechnology. In its most common form PEG is a linear polymer terminated at each end with a hydroxyl group:
-
HO—CH2CH2O—(CH2CH2O)n—CH2CH2—OH - This polymer can be represented in brief form as “HO-PEG-OH” where it is understood that the -PEG- symbol represents the following structural unit:
-
—CH2CH2O—(CH2CH2O)n—CH2CH2—, - where n typically ranges from approximately 10 to approximately 2000.
- PEG is commonly used as methoxy-PEG-OH, or “mPEG”, in which one terminus is the relatively inert methoxy group, while the other terminus is a hydroxyl group that is subject to ready chemical modification.
-
CH3O—(CH2CH2O)n—CH2CH2—OH mPEG - PEG is also commonly used in branched forms that can be prepared by addition of ethylene oxide to various polyols, such as glycerol, pentaerythritol and sorbitol. For example, the four-arm, branched PEG prepared from pentaerythritol is shown below:
-
C(CH2—OH)4 +nC2H4O→C[CH2O—(CH2CH2O)n—CH2CH2—OH]4 - Such branched polyethylene glycols can be represented in general form as R(-PEG-OH)z in which R represents the central “core” molecule, such as glycerol or pentaerythritol, and z represents the number of arms extending therefrom.
- PEG is a well-known polymer having the following properties: solubility in water and in many organic solvents, lack of toxicity, and lack of immunogenicity. One use of PEG is to covalently attach the polymer to insoluble molecules to make the resulting PEG-molecule conjugate soluble. For example, Greenwald, Pendri and Bolikal in J. Org. Chem., 60, 331-336 (1995), have shown that the water-insoluble drug, taxol, when coupled to PEG, becomes water-soluble.
- In related work, Davis et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,179,337, have shown that proteins coupled to PEG have enhanced blood-circulation lifetimes due to reduced rate of kidney clearance and reduced immunogenicity. Hydrophobic proteins have been described that, upon coupling to PEG, have increased solubility in water. These and other uses for PEG are described in J. M. Harris, Ed., “Biomedical and Biotechnical Applications of Polyethylene Glycol Chemistry,” Plenum, New York, 1992).
- To couple PEG to a molecule such as a protein or onto a surface, it is necessary to use an “activated derivative” of the PEG having a functional group at a terminus suitable for reacting with some group on the protein or on the surface (such as an amino group). Among the many useful activated derivatives of PEG is the succinimidyl “active ester” of carboxymethylated PEG as disclosed by K. Iwasaki and Y. Iwashita in U.S. Pat. No. 4,670,417. This chemistry can be illustrated with the active ester reacting with amino groups of a protein (the succinimidyl group is represented as “NHS” and the amino-containing protein is represented as PRO-NH2):
-
PEG-O—CH2—CO2—NHS+PRO-NH2→PEG-O—CH2—CO2—NH-PRO - Certain problems have arisen in the art. Some of the functional groups that have been used to activate PEG can result in toxic or otherwise undesirable residues when used for in vivo drug delivery. Some of the linkages that have been devised to attach functional groups to PEG can result in an undesirable immune response. Additionally, certain functional groups do not have appropriate selectivity for reacting with particular groups on proteins and can deactivate the proteins when in conjugated form.
- Attachment of a PEG derivative to a substance can have a somewhat unpredictable impact on the substance. Proteins, small drugs, and the like may have reduced biological activity when conjugated to a PEG derivative, although in some cases, activity may be increased.
- Another example of a problem that has arisen in the art is exemplified by the succinimidyl succinate active ester, “mPEG-SS” (the succinimidyl group is represented as NHS):
- The mPEG-SS active ester is useful for coupling because it reacts rapidly with amino groups on proteins and other molecules to form an amide linkage (—CO—NH—). A problem has been reported with the mPEG-SS active ester, as noted in U.S. Pat. No. 4,670,417. Since this compound possesses an ester linkage in the backbone that remains after coupling to an amine group, such as in a protein (represented as PRO-NH2):
-
mPEG-SS+PRO-NH2→mPEG-OC(O)—CH2CH2—CONH-PRO, - the remaining ester linkage is subject to rapid hydrolysis and detachment of PEG from the modified protein. Too rapid a hydrolysis rate can preclude use of a PEG derivative for many applications. Several approaches have been adopted to solve the problem of hydrolytic instability. For example, mPEG succinimidyl carbonate has been proposed, which contains only ether linkages in the polymer backbone and reacts with proteins to form a conjugate that is not subject to hydrolysis.
- In view of the above, it would be desirable to provide alternative PEG derivatives that are suitable for drug delivery systems, including delivery of proteins, enzymes, and small molecules, or for other biotechnology uses. It would also be desirable to provide alternative PEG derivatives that could enhance drug delivery systems or biotechnology products.
- In one aspect, the present invention provides chemically active polyethylene glycols and related polymers that are suitable for coupling to other molecules. The polyethylene glycol derivatives provided herein, when covalently attached to another molecule, form water-soluble conjugates in which the linkage between the polymer and the bound molecule is subject to predetermined cleavage. This allows for controlled delivery of the bound molecule into its surrounding environment.
- The polymers of the invention contain weak, hydrolytically unstable linkages near the reactive end of the polymer that provide for a sufficient circulation period for a drug-PEG conjugate, followed by hydrolytic breakdown of the conjugate and release of the bound molecule.
- According to yet another aspect, also forming part of the present invention are (i) methods of preparing the degradable active PEGs described herein and related polymers, (ii) conjugates, and (iii) methods for preparing such PEG conjugates.
- The PEG and related polymer derivatives of the invention are capable of imparting improved water solubility, increased size, a slower rate of kidney clearance, and reduced immunogenicity to a conjugate formed by covalent attachment thereto, while also providing for controllable hydrolytic release of the bound molecule into an aqueous environment—by virtue of the design of the linkages provided herein. The invention can be used to enhance the solubility and blood circulation lifetime of drugs in the bloodstream, while also delivering a drug into the bloodstream that, subsequent to hydrolysis, is substantially free of PEG. The invention is especially useful in those cases where drugs, when permanently conjugated to PEG, demonstrate reduced activity. By using a degradable PEG as provided herein, such drugs can maintain their therapeutic activity when in conjugated form, by virtue of the cleavable nature of the PEGs of the invention.
- In general form, the polymer derivatives of the invention and their conjugates can be described by the following equations:
-
POLY(-W-T)y+Y—P′→POLY(-W—X—P′)y+H2O→ -
→POLY-Gy+(I—X—P′) - In the above equations,
- “POLY” is a linear or branched polyethylene glycol of molecular weight from 300 to 100,000 daltons. POLY can also be a related non-peptidic polymer as described in greater detail below;
- “y” is the number of chemically active groups on POLY and is the number of molecules that can be bound to POLY;
- W is a hydrolytically unstable group;
- T is a reactive group (i.e., is reactive with Y);
- Y—P′ represents a molecule for conjugation to POLY, where Y is a reactive group that is reactive with T, and P′ is the portion of the molecule that is to be bound and released, including, for example, a peptide P′ in which Y is an amine moiety and T is a PEG activating moiety reactive with an amine;
- X is the new linkage formed by reaction of Y and T; and
- G and I are new groups formed by hydrolysis of W.
- Examples of hydrolytically unstable groups, W, include carboxylate esters, phosphate esters, acetals, imines, orthoesters, peptides and oligonucleotides. The variables, T and Y, are groups that react with each other. There are many examples of such groups known in organic chemistry. Some examples include the following combinations: active esters reacting with amines, isocyanates reacting with alcohols and amines, aldehydes reacting with amines, epoxides reacting with amines, and sulfonate esters reacting with amines, among others.
- Examples of P′ include peptides, oligonucleotides and other pharmaceuticals.
- Examples of X, the linkage resulting from reaction of Y and T, include amide from reaction of active esters with amine, urethane from reaction of isocyanate with hydroxyl, and urea from reaction of amine with isocyanate.
- Examples of G and I, the new groups formed upon hydrolysis of W, are alcohol and acid from hydrolysis of carboxylate esters, aldehyde and alcohol from hydrolysis of acetals, aldehyde and amine from hydrolysis of imines, phosphate and alcohol from hydrolysis of phosphate esters, amine and acid from hydrolysis of peptide, and phosphate and alcohol from hydrolysis of oligonucleotides.
- An embodiment of the invention is shown in the following equation demonstrating conjugation of a hydrolyzable methoxy-PEG (mPEG) polymer derivative with a peptide drug, followed by hydrolytic release of the peptide. In the embodiment below, the weak linkage, W, contains a hydrolyzable ester group.
- The released exemplary peptide contains no polymer, in this case, mPEG. Rather, the released peptide contains an additional short molecular fragment, which is sometimes called a “tag”. This tag is the portion of the linkage opposite the PEG from the hydrolytically unstable linkage. In the above example, the tag portion is the ‘HO—(CH2)3—O—C(O)—’ which remains attached to the released peptide.
- Thus, the invention provides activated PEGs and other related polymers containing hydrolytically unstable linkages. The polymers are useful, when conjugated to a drug or other molecule, for controlled delivery of such molecule to its surrounding environment. Several types of linkages, including ester linkages, are suitable for use as the hydrolytically unstable linkage as provided herein. However, the ester linkages of the present polymers, in contrast to mPEG-SS and mPEG-SG, provide for variation and control of the rate of hydrolytic degradation.
- The foregoing and other objects, advantages, and features of the invention, and the manner in which the same are accomplished, will be more readily apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

-
Poly(-W-T)y+Y—P′→Poly(-W—X—P′)y+H2O→ -
Poly-Gy+I—X—P′ - The Polymer
- In the discussion below, POLY will often be referred to for convenience as PEG or as poly(ethylene glycol). However, it is to be understood that other related polymers are also suitable for use in the practice of the invention in place of PEG and that the use of the term PEG or poly(ethylene glycol) is intended to be inclusive and not exclusive in this respect.
- Poly(ethylene glycol) is preferred in the practice of the invention. PEG is used in biological applications because it has properties that are highly desirable and is generally approved for biological or biotechnological applications. PEG typically is clear, colorless, odorless, soluble in water, stable to heat, inert to many chemical agents, does not hydrolyze or deteriorate, and is non-toxic. Poly(ethylene glycol) is considered to be biocompatible, which is to say that PEG is capable of coexistence with living tissues or organisms without causing harm. More specifically, PEG is not immunogenic, which is to say that PEG does not tend to produce an immune response in the body. When attached to a moiety having some desirable function in the body, the PEG tends to mask the moiety and can reduce or eliminate an immune response so that an organism can tolerate the presence of the moiety, in PEGylated form. Accordingly, the activated PEGs of the invention should be substantially non-toxic and not tend to substantially produce an immune response or cause clotting or other undesirable effects.
- Water-soluble polymers other than PEG are suitable for similar modification in accordance with the invention described herein. These other polymers include poly(vinyl alcohol) (“PVA”); other poly(alkylene oxides) such as poly(propylene glycol) (“PPG”) and the like; and poly(oxyethylated polyols) such as poly(oxyethylated glycerol), poly(oxyethylated sorbitol), and poly(oxyethylated glucose), and the like. The polymers can be homopolymers or random or block copolymers and terpolymers based on monomers of the above polymers, straight chain or branched, substituted or unsubstituted, e.g., similar to mPEG and other capped, mono-functional PEGs having a single active site available for attachment to a linker.
- Specific examples of such suitable polymers include poly(oxazoline), poly(acryloylmorpholine) (“PAcM”), and poly(vinylpyrrolidone)(“PVP”). PVP and poly(oxazoline) are well-known polymers in the art and their preparation and use in the syntheses described herein for embodiments based upon mPEG should be readily apparent to the skilled artisan. PAcM and its synthesis and use are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,629,384 and 5,631,322, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- It should be understood that by “drug” is meant any substance intended for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans and other animals, or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being. The invention is useful, for example, for delivery of biologically active substances that generally have some activity or function in a living organism or in a substance taken from a living organism.
- The terms “group,” “functional group,” “moiety,” “active moiety,” “reactive site,” and “radical” are all somewhat synonymous in the chemical arts and are used in the art and herein to refer to distinct, definable portions or units of a molecule and to units that perform some function or activity and are reactive with other molecules or portions of molecules.
- The term “linkage” is used herein to refer to groups that are normally formed as the result of a chemical reaction. Herein, such linkages are typically covalent linkages.
- “Hydrolytically stable linkage” means a linkage that is stable in water and does not react with water under useful or normal conditions of pH for an extended period of time, potentially indefinitely.
- “Hydrolytically unstable linkage” is a linkage or functionality that reacts with water, typically causing a molecule to separate (or cleave) into two or more components. Such a linkage is said to be “subject to hydrolysis” and to be “hydrolysable”. The time it takes for the linkage to react with water is referred to as the rate of hydrolysis and is usually measured in terms of its half-life.
- The Hydrolytically Unstable Linkage (W) and Reactive Groups, T and Y
- In a particular embodiment, the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing, for example, an ester group as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group useful for coupling to amine-containing molecules. The resulting conjugates can be delivered in vivo or into a substance taken from a living entity. Exemplary polymers, and in particular, linkages, are provided below.

-
PEG-W—CO2—NHS - where W=—(CH2)b—OPO3—(CH2)b′— b and b′=1-5
- According to yet another exemplary embodiment, the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing an ester-linked amino acid as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule. An advantage of this derivative is that its hydrolytic breakdown results in a biologically acceptable amino acid attached to the released molecule:
-
PEG-W—CO2—NHS - where W=—O—(CH2)b—CO2—(CH2)b′—CH(NH-t-Boc)- b=1-5,
-
- b′=1-5, and
- t-Boc=(CH3)3C—O—CO—.
- In yet a further embodiment, the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing a peptide as the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule. An advantage of this particular type of derivative is that its hydrolytic breakdown typically results in a biologically acceptable peptide fragment attached to the released molecule:
-
PEG-W—CO2—NHS - where W=—C(O)(NH—CHR—CO)a—NH—CHR— a=2-20
-
- R=the set of substituents typically found on α-amino acids
- In yet another exemplary embodiment, the invention includes poly(ethylene glycols) containing an oligonucleotide forming the weak linkage and a succinimidyl ester as the reactive group, e.g., useful for coupling to an amine-containing molecule. An advantage of this particular type of derivative is that its hydrolytic breakdown results in a biologically acceptable oligonucleotide fragment attached to the released molecule:
-
PEG-W—CO2—NHS - where W=oligonucleotide.
- As previously described, polymers for use in the invention can be straight chain or branched. That is to say, branched activated PEGs can be prepared in accordance with the invention where such PEGs possess weak linkages near the reactive end of the polymer for controlled hydrolytic degradation. Illustrative branched PEGs are described in International Publication No. WO 96/21469, entitled, “Multi-Armed, Monofunctional, and Hydrolytically Stable Derivatives of Poly(Ethylene Glycol) and Related Polymers For Modification of Surfaces and Molecules”, filed Jan. 11, 1996, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Branched PEGs such as these can then be modified in accordance with the present teachings.
